The Mac OS doesn't include UNIX-like filters; however, you don't need them
for what you want to do. Use the "open printing" and "close printing" commands
to select the cards you want to print, as follows:

  on printThisBackground
    open printing  -- or use "open printing with dialog" if you want
                   -- the print stack dialog to come up
    repeat for the number of cards of this background
      print this card
      go to next card of this background
    end repeat
    close printing -- at this point the cards "marked" by the print commands
                   -- issued since "open printing" are sent to the printer
  end printThisBackground
